Java Objects Challenge 1 of 2

The question asked me to add a public method etc.

This is my code, which produces a compiler error.

Please help!

public class GoKart { private String mColor = "red";

public String getColour() { return mColour; } }

GoKart.java 
public class GoKart {
  private String mColor = "red";

  public String getColour() {
    return mColour;
  }
}

John, thank you. As always with these things, it's so obvious when it's pointed out. I couldn't see the wood for the trees!
